Opinion
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS
NO. PD-0198-24
JAMES DORA, JR., Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS
ON APPELLANT=S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW FROM THE SEVENTH COURT OF APPEALS LUBBOCK COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
We granted Appellant, James Dora Jr.’s, petition for discretionary review to
determine whether the Fifth Court of Appeals erred in holding that the jury need
only find the defendant acted recklessly to convict him of aggravated robbery under
the “intent to promote or assist” theory of party liability. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. 2
§ 7.02(a)(2). Having examined the records and briefs, we conclude that our
decision to grant was improvident. We therefore dismiss Appellant’s petition for
discretionary review as improvidently granted.
